Davidis-
Thanks for sharing all of your great photos from Israel. Haifa looks beautiful. I've wanted to visit there for a long, long time. This photo makes me want to travel there even more. Some day!
At the large size there appears to be some significant digital artifacting and oversharpening. Are you shooting at the highest quality setting with your A95? Are you doing any post-processing? I know you can get better quality from your camera and I wonder if the problems are happening in-camera or if you're doing it when you rseize them for the Web.
One last thing. We need more reviews for the Powershot A95. If you haven't already, please visit the review section and post a review for your camera.
I'm sorry I don't think it works. I can see you put some effort by having the tree branch on the left, probably in an attempt to "frame".
However, for framing it should frame the image and here it's too small. I also don't know what the subject is. Is it the corner in the road? If so, not very interesting. If it's the city you missed your subject, it's too far away and partly foggy.
But, I do like how the curve in the road matches the curve in the ocean bay near the city. First I've ever seen that trick used that way, and I really like it.
But, in general my first impression when I saw this picture was just a normal tourist picture. But, then I noticed you attempted to frame with the tree, and then I saw the two matching curves, the road and the ocean, that added some fun after the fact. But, first impressions this picture to me was rather a common picture. You do have skill and maybe it was just the time of day that's the issue.
Hi John,
thank for the commence. You are right, I made up sharpneess of the shot after reducing for web format. On original photo (3.5Mb) it is all OK and A95 works very well without an artifacting. This is my misstake and I did oversharpening.
I would be very glad to see you in Israel and Haifa, have a nice time and great photos. Can we meet here?A picture is worth a thousand words .....
